Hallelujah!

The Lord is risen!  He is risen indeed!

With great joy and relief and gladness and hope and thanksgiving we celebrate today the resurrection of our Jesus Christ from the dead!   It changed, and changes everything.   Glory be to you, Lord Christ!

“The good news is that the one true God has now taken charge of the world, in and through Jesus and his death and resurrection.  The ancient hopes have indeed been fulfilled, but in a way nobody imagined.  God’s plan to put the world right has finally been launched.  He has grasped the world in a new way, to sort it out and fill it with his glory and justice, as he always promised.  But he has done so in a way beyond the wildest dreams of prophecy.  The ancient sickness that had crippled the whole world, and humans with it, has been cured at last, so that new life can rise up in its place.  Life has come to life and is pouring out like a mighty river into the world, in the form of a new power, the power of love.  The good news was, and is, that all this has happened in and through Jesus; that one day it will happen, completely and utterly, to all creation; and that we humans, every single one of us, whoever we are, can be caught up in that transformation here and now.  This is the Christian gospel.  Do not allow yourself to be fobbed off with anything less.”  NT Wright, Simply Good News
